Jeep sold 2,584 Gladiator trucks in May during the first full month of recorded sales while Ford sold 7,748 Rangers - what do you think is the reason for the discrepancy?

There is NO discrepancy you are making the assumption Glady and Ranger are same-same...they are not!

There are MORE people driving Ford Rangers than people driving Jeeps. Ford Ranger has been around more years than Jeep has been months.

About the ONLY vehicle you can roughly compare a Jeep Wrangler to is a Toyota F 40 and that is because we gave the Japs the rights to manufacture the very first Toys were built on Jeep frames and drivelines.

Sure you can compare Jeep beds to other truck beds and there Jeep takes a beating, it can't carry a sheet of plywood and we know what that means here...

I've seen a few Rangers stickering for $35k. These looked to be fairly nicely equipped and 4x4. Not my taste but the price point for the average Joe looking for a mid sized truck is rather appealing.

I posted this on another thread also. Just looking for a good feud. I say 70,000 ordered and delivered by Aug 31st. And that's below target. Tell me all the ways I'm an idiot. We have numbers to crunch people!

I am making no assumptions - I am just posing a question. That said, I do have a concern over the pricing for the Gladiator as it appears to climb quickly once options are selected. I do think the forthcoming availability of the Sport and Sport S models will help.

You could not be any more right about that!

What is happening here is America has FINALLY figured out what WE KNOW down here in Texas, where trucks outsell cars. Ford, GM and Chrysler are all thinning the car herd...it's about time! I never owned a sedan in my life. But I grew up riding in them, but we always had a truck. The sedans of yesterday were far different than today...think BIG. They were huge, 3 sat in the front and 3 in the back in comfort. The trunk, bigger than a JT's bed on some of them.

What happened: Bucket seats and the gas crises of '73 and the big sedans started to disappear. Sedans got smaller and smaller, Industry countered with Vans and SUV's. Parallel to that my generation was buying and moving up in the housing market and Home Depot, Lowe's, Builders Square etc began popping up to feed us that did things like build barns and add on rooms and bathrooms and for many they discovered they needed to buy a 4x8 sheet of PLYWOOD and the rest is history...

I grew up sitting on the bed rail of a '54 Chevy truck (bed rail was flat) and the spare tire was bolted to the bed next to the cab. Loved it! Today my parents would be in jail...

That like 20K a month, I don't see it yet. June sales will be a good data point

They can’t even manage to produce 4190 LE’s in the first 60 days, how the hell do they expect to produce 70,000 in the next 80 days??...
